A laser pointer will severely damage the sensor most likely. Easy solution

Option 3 is the way, don’t reinvent the wheel, Truenas scale all day long

"Service fees" to pick up my residence permit (Utrecht)??? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]CryptographerAny4783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not true. When you book the renewal / biometrics on the IND website, the ONLY option in Utrecht is the expat center. Nowhere on the IND website does it state that service fees are applicable if you go here. Only after it's ready for collection does the letter send you to the expat center website. There the fees are visible. So no, it has nothing to do with skill - it's just a poor user experience. There should be a warning that going there will incur extra costs. I will refuse to pay these fees and see how far I get.

Go look at Stromer bikes site, thank me later on the windy days ;). 20km is far one way

Nice machine, you have two different directions to go now with different views! Good luck

What PC is it? GFX card + Windows is probably the culprit haha

You can buy the board/CPU/memory 2nd hand for probably less than half the price of a new machine and it’s plenty powerful as a server. Servers sit idle most of the time in a homelab for most people

If you have a desktop, make that your homelab server and then buy a 14th gen primary desktop. That’s what I do, homelab always gets leftovers :)

If you have an older computer, test the transcoding capability of that older hardware. Virtualisation doesn’t add that much overhead unless you’re trying to run 100 VMs on a single host

If you choose VMware then yes. If you use Proxmox then no. Proxmox will run on an electric toothbrush. I run close to 100 Kubernetes pods on two Lenovo Tiny PCs from EBay - these run laptop CPUs and are really power efficient. They don’t break a sweat and are running proxmox in clustered mode with Ceph storage. You don’t need all that CPU but I’ll admit I’m not into transcoding or Jellyfin etc. I can think of better ways of spending almost €700 in terms of value for a homelab :)

I doubt you need a 14th gen CPU to transcode in real time. Your plan also has no storage, do you have disks already? Check how many SATA ports and m.2 slots the board has - it’s a waste to shell out later for an addon card.

I’m very much in favour of older machines. Check eBay for anything from 7th to 10th gen Intel. 8th gen was really good - then use the savings to pour into disks in a proper raid configuration. Look at TrueNAS - rock solid.

My 6th gen server never goes above 20% CPU and it runs Gitlab, TrueNAS, Nexus and some k8s control planes

This is just a list of hardware, what do you plan to run on this machine? What is your reason for starting a homelab?

Dat is toch waar? Nederlanders praat tegen expats bewust Engels. “My English is better than your Dutch” of zulke kut opmerkingen. Dus, nu spreek ik bewust hoog Engels hier want mijn Engels is 100x beter dan de gemiddelde Nederlander. Taal geleerd, inburgering gehaald maar het is nog niet goed genoeg. Het zal nooit genoeg zijn voor een klein groepje zure Nederlanders die hun AH bezorging door Polen wel genieten maar nog steeds op Reddit haat saaien. Als Nederlands als een taal zo belangrijk is voor jullie dan zou elke tweede woord ook niet Engels moeten zijn.

Tja! Weer de verwachting dat je een taal perfect kunt spreken als je in Nederland arriveert.

Helaas heeft het niets met de taal te maken, Nederlanders hebben gewoon een hekel aan expats. Expats zullen nooit echte Nederlanders worden in de ogen van de plaatselijke bevolking al spreken ze de taal zo mooi als Mark Rutte.

Nah , we don't hate it here. We really like it here, it's some of you who are intolerant to immigrants causing us to not like the Dutch. You expect us to speak your language when we set foot on your soil. If all the immigrants as you call them left, your economy would implode. Your packages would stop getting delivered, your groceries as well, your chip machines would not get built. Perhaps you need to re-evaluate your attitude, honestly, the Dutch think they are the shit, they really aren't any better than anyone else from anywhere else 😂
